Reunions and Jake's home and Franny is Funny

August was just as busy as July, and I'm glad because as the summer closes, I can look back and know that I didn't waste the golden sun by staying in. I love the summer. I hate the winter. So why do I love Logan??


We had our second annual Gutke Bear lake Reunion at the beginning of August. It was so fun
not being pregnant this year. We went way faster on the wave runner than last year.

Franny was cracking up at what? Oh, just her cousins walking in a circle.

Cousins forever!

This picture sums up what was REALLY going on between takes

Paul's stellar golf moves



No, Paul is not wearing a tee-shirt on the wave-runner



I had a lot of fun with Noodles' new camera



Maybe not as much fun as John
I can't believe this shot was captured. Her squinty smile only lasts a second, and it kills me every time!


Steven really outdid himself with the GREAT shots of my little sweetie



Some of us stopped by Tony Grove on the way home. I forget how lovely it is.



On Aug 14, my little brother Jake arrived home from his mission and got to meet Franny (and 3 other neiphlings) for the first time. On the way to the Airport, Julia taught Franny how an ipod works.

Is this okay with the TSA?

Elder Spencer...who is this guy??

This is random, but I was so excited when Franny actually cared about the TV for the first time. I can now do my hair in the morning without her pulling on my leg and trying to eat the lotion and hairspray.

I didn't take a lot of pictures at the Spencer Family reunion at camp Lomia in Logan Canyon, but here's a keeper of Paul helping Fran play ping-pong. She was smiling so big the whole time. It was so funny.


Franny figured this doggy sound out by herself. Now she won't stop.


The End
Oh, and Franny now walks, but I somehow forgot to document it. I'll get around to it hopefully before the next season passes us by.

pretty crazy that Darren and Paul have the same "t shirt" on to go jet skiing, THey look just the same- and I didn't see Lindsay in your pictures- did they not make it.

Those circle-walking-cousins made ME laugh, too, Franny. I get you.

What a fun summer. Makes me really miss Logan.

Hooray for a good long post. I thought Fran must be walking by now so I'm glad that it's been confirmed. Looks like you guys had a great summer and now comes the cold winter. Boo hoo.

I love Franny's squinty-eyed smile too! That picture is so great. :) I also love the picture of her listening to the Ipod. Franny IS funny, and super cute!
Love you guys!
